How are you necessarily tied to the electronics?
My speakers are active and I can just as easily swap or exchange amps as one can do with passives.
I can also change the crossover itself if I so desire and active crossovers can be substantially more precise in the job they do than passives could ever be especially if they are DSP-based.
Time and phase alignment is doddle while passive time alignment smears even more detail than a simple passive crossover does.
Crossover slopes can be made arbitrarily steep without any danger of ringing or putting more passive components between amp and driver which is never a good idea.
For mids and bass the control by the amp actives allow is a large and easily audible benefit provided one uses an amp with a suitably low output impedance.
Over the course of my audio life I have converted a few speakers to active and the bottom line is that actives with cheap(ish) amps easily outperform an otherwise identical passive with ANY amp.
